JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – New tax filings show that a nonprofit connected to
former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens raised more than $6 million from secret
donors in 2017.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the IRS Form 990 for filing year 2017 was first reported Wednesday by the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. It offers a detailed look at the nonprofit called A New Missouri.
Greitens, a Republican, was elected in 2016. He resigned June 1st while facing
potential impeachment proceedings in the Missouri House over allegations of
sexual and political misconduct.
The new filing shows that money flowed to firms tied to Greitens and his
campaign. Unlike a traditional state campaign committee, A New Missouri was able
to accept unlimited campaign donations and shield its donors from disclosure.
